my dad is a matinence engineer but is looking to change his career path without going to collage or university, he is very smart and hard working, he is dedicated to whatever he does and will always give it 100%. Unfortinatley he can not attend university as we do not have enough money to support all those years studying. so basically he wants: - a well paying job, he is on a good wage now
and has a family to support.
- something that doesnt involve manufacturing
and overalls
- doesnt need to go to uni or collage
please i need your help, he is so unhappy at his current job. :))
something involving music or creativity would be brilliant, just need some advice and ideas

Be very careful and investigate opportunities fully before jumping in. Many people will show up with get rich quick schemes and they rarely work. It’s going to be hard to find something good paying with out going back to school but what about a job as a store manager or something like that. Best of luck to him.

I’m writing my friend an ItachixOC one-shot for her b-day and was wondering if you could help. I have this so far:

Now, I’m not perfect. I never was, and never will be. I’m just average. Average light brown hair cut tied back in a long ponytail, and dark blue eyes flecked with olive. I was dull. I wasn’t something cool, like a ninja or whatnot. I was just boring little me.
The one in the background. The one who wasn’t bad in class, but wasn’t brilliant either. My childhood was okay, but I always felt like something was missing.
I didn’t have an amazing figure either, I was small, slender and short, with small boobs and a narrow waist.
My name’s Kumiko, which ironic since it means ‘beautiful child’ and I’m not beautiful, and I’m not a child. I’m nineteen. My last name’s Miyamoto which means ‘base of the shrine’. And guess where I live? That’s right. At the base of a shrine in Konoha.

I was wondering if you could help me say how she would meet Itachi and make sure she doesn’t become Mary-Sue and Itachi doesn’t become OOC?

I have to be honest with you dear. I’m not a fan in how you started this story/one-shot. Why? Because I’ve seen so many, many OC stories that start like that. With the OC introducing herself to the readers and describing themselves.

It’s unoriginal and usually when stories start like that the OC is a Mary-Sue…or at least majority of the readers that come across stories like that, feel that they are even if they might not be one. But a better way to introduce your character into a story is by action (remember the old saying, show and not tell?) and let the readers find out for themselves

For example:

"Kumiko! What are you doing here?" a man shouted, drawing attention to a brown hairied young woman sweeping away the leaves from the ground.

Kumiko turned to look up at him, frowning.

"Oh, Hoshi. I live here of course."

"Here? At the Kono shrine?" Hoshi, replied looking a little surprise.

"Yes. I told you a couple of times before. Did you forget again?" Kumiko stated, her dark blue eyes flecked green in annoyance.

There you go. It’s not much but it’s a start. But doing it like that you can subtly hint that the main character’s eyes is dark blue, what her name is and where she lives. All that without writing a boring bio of her describing herself. There are many ways to hint about the character’s appearance and life without having a giant text of doom introducing them first thing in the story.

As for how she would meet Itachi maybe she met him during a mission he did as a child? Like he had a mission with two other teammates of his, to help with the shrine for a ceremony or the shrine asked them to protect something important to take to another shrine? Because Itachi’s smart and he was in classes that were for older students. So having them meet in school wouldn’t work because that would be implying that the OC is a ninja that suppose to be very well known for being in the same class as him if they are the same age. Which wouldn’t match with her being "The one in the background." and so on.
